Intersection movements carry more disaggregate information about origin-destination (O-D) flows than link counts in a traffic network. In this paper, a mathematical formulation is presented for O-D matrix estimation using intersection counts, which is based on an existing linear programming model employing link counts. The proposed model estimates static O-D flows for uncongested networks assuming no a priori information on the O-D matrix. Both models were tested in two hypothetical networks previously used in O-D matrix studies to monitor their performances assuming various numbers of count location and measurement errors. Two new measures were proposed to evaluate the model characteristics of O-D flow estimation using traffic counts. While both link count based and intersection count based models performed with the same success under complete data collection assumption, intersection count based formulation estimated the O-D flows more successfully under decreasing number of observation locations. Also, the results of the 30 measurement error scenarios revealed that it performs more robustly than the link count based one; thus, it better estimates the O-D flows.

Parallel Hybrid Genetic Algorithm and GIS-Based Optimization for Municipal Solid Waste Collection Routing Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Uşkay, S. Onur; Aksoy, Ayşegül (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2016-01-01) A vast majority of studies on municipal solid waste (MSW) collection routing do not consider the constraints pertinent to actual road networks such as unidirectional roads and terrain characteristics. As a result, good practices such as the avoidance of U-turns cannot be used. This study introduces geographic information system (GIS)-integrated software (RouteSW) for the optimization of MSW collection routes by considering path constraints. The software uses a parallelized hybrid genetic algorithm (PHGA) to...
Dynamic effects of moving traffic on railway bridges Cinek, Fatih; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) In this study, dynamic effects on high speed railway bridges under moving traffic are investigated. Within this context, the clear definition of the possible dynamic effects is provided and the related studies that exist in literature are investigated. In the light of those studies, analytical procedures that are defined to find the critical dynamic responses such as deflections, accelerations and resonance conditions are examined and a MatLab programming language is written to obtain the responses for diff...
Quality of floating car data (FCD) as a surrogate measure for urban arterial speed Altintasi, Oruc; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Tuncay, Kağan (Canadian Science Publishing, 2019-12-01) Commercial floating car data (FCD) is being increasingly used as a traffic data source due to its lower cost despite concerns about its reliability. This paper focuses on the evaluation of FCD speed quality as a surrogate measure for arterial speed from different aspects. First, FCD speed is compared to video-based traffic data, collected from a specific urban road segment and assumed as ground truth in (a) descriptive evaluations, (b) speed estimation, and (c) level of service estimation. Regression analys...
Clustering-based methodology for determining optimal roadway configuration of detectors for travel time estimation Bartin, Bekir; OZBAY, Kaan; İyigün, Cem (SAGE Publications, 2007-01-01) The problem of finding the optimal roadway segment configuration for road-based surveillance technologies to estimate route travel times accurately is addressed. This problem is inherently a space discretization problem regardless of which travel time estimation function is used. Its ad hoc solution is the equidistant segment configuration, such as every half mile or every 1 mi. It is shown that the space discretization problem can be expressed as the common clustering problem. The novelty of the proposed a...
Rating and reliability of existing bridges in a network Akgül, Ferhat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2003-11-01) Currently, the load rating is the method used by State DOTs for evaluating the safety and serviceability of existing bridges in the United States. In general, load rating of a bridge is evaluated when a maintenance, improvement work, change in strength of members, or addition of dead load alters the condition or capacity of the structure. The AASHTO LRFD specifications provide code provisions for prescribing an acceptable and uniform safety level for the design of bridge components. Once a bridge is designe...
